When Ethan was about two months old and I was exhausted, I remember one phone conversation all too well... I said it was overwhelming to keep up with Ethan when I was up all night every night. We were stuck inside as the winter dragged on and while I was madly in love with Ethan, I felt like my life had been turned upside down. The response I was given? "It's just really hard for the first six months." WHAT?!?! SIX MONTHS?? I remember feeling like I had been punched in the gut. Six months was an eternity! I hung up and looked at the calendar. Six months put us squarely in the middle of May. It was January. How would I ever survive?
Well, I'm happy to report May 23 has come and gone and Ethan, Mike and I all survived. Ethan makes us happier than we ever could have imagined. It's truly amazing to watch him grow and explore the world around him. When I look at the calendar now I can't wait to see what the next six months hold.
